Kinks and domain walls are the simplest kind of solitons and are
invaluable for testing various ideas and for learning about
non-perturbative aspects of field theories. They are the subject of
research in essentially every branch of physics, ranging from
condensed matter to cosmology. This book, first published in 2006,
is an introduction to kinks and domain walls and their principal
classical and quantum properties. The book examines classical
solitons, building from examples in elementary systems to more
complicated settings. The formation of solitons in phase
transitions, their dynamics and their cosmological consequences are
further discussed. The volume concludes with an explicit
description of a few laboratory systems containing solitons. This
text will be of interest to both graduate students and academic
researchers in theoretical physics, particle physics, cosmology and
condensed matter physics. This book has been reissued as an Open
Access publication on Cambridge Core.
